REVISED JUNE 17, 2013 RETURN WITH BID <br /> (4)Apprentices and trainees— <br /> (i) Apprentices. Apprentices will be permitted to work at less than predetermined rate for the work they <br /> performed when they are employed pursuant to and individually registered in a bona fide apprenticeship <br /> program registered with the U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration, Office of <br /> Apprenticeship Training, Employer and Labor Services, or with a State Apprenticeship Agency recognized <br /> by the Office, or if a person is employed in his or her first 90 days of probationary employment as an <br /> apprentice in such an apprenticeship program,who is not individually registered in the program, but who has <br /> been certified by the Office of Apprenticeship Training, Employer and Labor Services or a State <br /> Apprenticeship Agency (where appropriate) to be eligible for probationary employment as an apprentice. <br /> The allowable ratio of apprentices to journeymen on the job site in any craft classification shall not be greater <br /> than the ratio permitted to the contractor as to the entire work force under the registered program. Any <br /> worker listed on a payroll at an apprentice wage rate, who is not registered or otherwise employed as stated <br /> above, shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the classification of <br /> work actually performed. In addition, any apprentice performing work on the job site in excess of the ratio <br /> permitted under the registered program shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage <br /> ' determination for the work actually performed. Where a contractor is performing construction on a project in <br /> a locality other than that in which its program is registered, the ratios and wage rates (expressed in <br /> percentages of the journeyman's hourly rate) specified in the contractor's or subcontractor's registered <br /> ' program shall be observed. Every apprentice must be paid at not less than the rate specified in the registered <br /> program for the apprentice's level of progress, expressed as a percentage of the journeymen hourly rate <br /> specified in the applicable wage determination. <br /> Apprentices shall be paid fringe benefits in accordance with the provisions of the apprenticeship program. If <br /> the apprenticeship program does not specify fringe benefits, apprentices must be paid the full amount of <br /> fringe benefits listed on the wage determination for the applicable classification. If the Administrator <br /> determines that a different practice prevails for the applicable apprentice classification, fringes shall be paid <br /> in accordance with that determination. In the event the Office of Apprenticeship Training, Employer and <br /> Labor Services, or a State Apprenticeship Agency recognized by the Office, withdraws approval of an <br /> ' apprenticeship program, the contractor will no longer be permitted to utilize apprentices at less than the <br /> applicable predetermined rate for the work performed until an acceptable program is approved. <br /> (ii) Trainees. Except as provided in 29 CFR 5.16, trainees will not be permitted to work at less than the <br /> predetermined rate for the work performed unless they are employed pursuant to and individually registered <br /> in a program which has received prior approval, evidenced by formal certification by the U.S. Department of <br /> Labor, Employment and Training Administration. The ratio of trainees to journeymen on the job site shall <br /> not be greater than permitted under the plan approved by the Employment and Training Administration. <br /> Every trainee must be paid at not less than the rate specified in the approved program for the trainee's level <br /> of progress, expressed as a percentage of the journeyman hourly rate specified in the applicable wage <br /> determination. Trainees shall be paid fringe benefits in accordance with the provisions of the trainee <br /> program. If the trainee program does not mention fringe benefits, trainees shall be paid the full amount of <br /> fringe benefits listed on the wage determination unless the Administrator of the Wage and Hour Division <br /> determines that there is an apprenticeship program associated with the corresponding journeyman wage rate <br /> ' on the wage determination which provides for less than full fringe benefits for apprentices. Any employee <br /> listed on the payroll at a trainee rate who is not registered and participating in a training plan approved by the <br /> Employment and Training Administration shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage <br /> determination for the classification of work actually performed. In addition, any trainee performing work on <br /> the job site in excess of the ratio permitted under the registered program shall be paid not less than the <br /> applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the work actually performed. In the event the <br /> Employment and Training Administration withdraws approval of a training program, the contractor will no <br /> longer be permitted to utilize trainees at less than the applicable predetermined rate for the work performed <br /> until an acceptable program is approved. <br /> ' CITY 2012-06/BGM 12-043 PROP-6 <br />
